Examining the influence of employee engagement in supporting the implementation of green supply chain management practices: A green human resource management perspective
基于自然资源基础观，研究员工敬业度在绿色供应链管理实践与环境绩效之间的中介作用，发现员工敬业度对多数绿色供应链实践有重要支持作用，但对生态设计实践影响不显著。
Abstract How implementation of environmental practices is supported by employee engagement remains underexplored in the literature. Based on the natural resource‐based view (NRBV), this study examines the role of employee engagement in supporting successful implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices. Specifically, we theorise and test the mediating role of employee engagement on the relationship between GSCM practices and environmental performance. Survey data from 394 manufacturing firms were used to test the model and hypotheses. Our findings show that employee engagement plays an important role in supporting the implementation of most GSCM practices. Non‐significant results in relation to eco‐design practices suggest that employee engagement is not as important for supporting product design‐based GSCM practices. Our study provides insights for managers and scholars seeking to address important questions around ‘how’ GSCM practices can be implemented effectively.
